[edit] Installation
Note: Use the Gentoo Handbook http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/index.xml, it contains far more experience and information then I could possibly do. In this guide I will only put the custom options needed to complete a successful install
Warning: If you intend to use Windows, INSTALL WINDOWS FIRST!!! Use the Windows installer to establish your NTFS partition. I highly recommend setting it as the first partition on your drive.
[edit] Formatting Options
- Swap: # mkswap -L SWAP <dev>
- ReiserFS: # mkreiserfs -l <label> --format 3.6 <dev>
- Ext3: # mke2fs -j -l <label> <dev>
- FAT32: # mkdosfs -n <label> -F 32 <dev>
- NTFS: # mkntfs -L <label> <dev>
Warning: It is recommended to use Windows to format NTFS partitions, especially if you are using Vista... much quicker also.

[edit] Windows Vista / Gentoo
Tip: I'm using FAT32 so that I can store content and use it interchangeably between Windows and Linux. There are drivers out there for Windows for less used filesystems, some more stable then others...

[edit] Configuration
Useful software
[edit] Video
[edit] Sound
The snd-intel8x0 module is compatable with the onboard nForce sound card.
Kernel 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 ALSA drivers do not work.
Install media-sound/alsa-driver
Note: You MUST reinstall alsa-driver every time you use a new kernel.
[edit] SPDIF
Enable SPDIF Playback with the following commands.
amixer set 'IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA' 0
amixer set 'IEC958' on
[edit] Ethernet
Use forcedeth module for onboard ethernet.
[edit] Wireless
[edit] USB
No Issues
[edit] FireWire
[edit] Bluetooth
Install the following...
Start the Bluetooth service and add it to the default runlevel...
- /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
- rc-update add bluetooth default
